Re: how do i go onto a new line in python

The newline character in python is '\n'.

python Syntax (Toggle Plain Text)
print "Hello\nGoodbye"
print "Hello\nGoodbye"

or for python 3:

python Syntax (Toggle Plain Text)
print("Hello\nGoodbye")
print("Hello\nGoodbye")

The print statement in python (except python 3) automatically adds a newline at the end.

Should be noted that this can be prevent by doing the following

Python Syntax (Toggle Plain Text)

print "Hello World",

Yup a trailing ','

Python 3 seems to add a new line

Wait, i think that in python 3 there is an automatic \n at the end of lines. Here are the default args for print()

print - sep = ' ', end = '\n', file = sys.stdout

So that seems to point towards print actually adding a new line to the end.

Also if you do not want this then just go

python Syntax (Toggle Plain Text)
print ("Hello there", end = '')
print ("Hello there", end = '')
